We put a lot of time into organizing our dog training information, our dog training how-to videos, and our website so that you can find the information you want quickly and easily and without having to visit three different places!

Without further ado, we're unveiling the new website where the Smart Dog U Blog now resides! Here you'll also find our great how-to videos as well as a completely redesigned website that's easier for you to find what you need.

Over the next several months, we'll be moving all the blog posts over to the new site so you can be sure to find all the articles you've loved here over on the new site.

Having raised 15 puppies for service work, we've had lots of experience with food gulpers. You know the ones: the food bowl is down for 10 seconds and the food is gone. The dog doesn't stop to enjoy or even chew his food, it's basically inhaled. Sometimes the food will come back up -- the whole meal -- in a foamy lump on your floor.
